A DIFFERENT KIND OF IMPERFECTION SHORT STORY REVIEW

A DIFFERENT KIND OF IMPERFECTION  SHORT STORY REVIEW - This short story was published in the New Yorker--but, is part of the author’s longer work titled ‘Seduction Theory’--with a college student whose father dies of cancer. In A Different Kind of Imperfection by Thomas Beller, the protagonist returns to his mother’s home for Christmas vacation from university, after recently breaking up with his girlfriend. There are inanimate objects scattered all throughout the apartment that remind him of his childhood, about his mother as she is now, as well as piles of his father’s books. In particular, he zeroes in on ‘To the Lighthouse’ by Virginia Woolf with a business card, pencil marks and paper scraps found inside the book. The imagery is somber and restrained, reminiscent of Gilman’s ‘The Yellow Wallpaper’, which also makes an allusion to Virginia Woolf, as she descends into hysteria and madness. Cunningham’s book titled ‘The Hours’ (also a major motion picture) famously deals with Woolf’s suicide as she filled her coat pockets with rocks and drowned herself. The short story is a comment on what we leave behind when we are gone.

SF MOMA

SF MOMA - My favorite museum in my hometown (San Francisco) is the MOMA (Museum of Modern Art). I’ve visited it more times than I can remember. In terms of art, I’ve seen some of my greatest artist inspirations, exhibited therein. A few of my favorites are Warhol, Koons, Haring, Lichtenstein, Monet, Picasso. O’Keefe, Van Gough, Calder and Miro. The SF MOMA is moving and expanding. It sounds as if the pieces will be all over the city during the renovation. Check the website periodically because travelling exhibitions will be constantly changing. When the new museum emerges in 2016 there will be a 10 story addition all along the back side on Third Street. Are you visiting San Francisco and looking for great fine art museums? If you’re sightseeing, I recommend the de Young and Legion of Honor. You’ll still be able to see some of the best art the city--or, the world for that matter--has to offer. See below for a link to exhibits and also CBS news for related info.

WRITING REFERENCE #6

WRITING REFERENCE #6 - This post is part of a series devoted to writing reference. Click on the tag at the bottom of the blog post to pull up all the topic articles. This example contains several ‘good’ and ‘bad’ query letters. There are samples for fiction, non-fiction, book and magazine. There is a lot of advice out there on query letters, book proposals and the synopsis. These aspects of writing haunt creative types who are more used to utilizing characterization, setting, plot and dialogue to convey their voice. Even if you plan to self-publish, there’s no excuse for not attempting to query agents and publishers, remember this is highly subjective, you never know if or when you’ll find a good home for your story. As a reminder, I have listed all of the posts in this category, see below.
